A school teacher, later professor of mathematics, Adolph Anderssen had to fit this now-historic match into the Christmas holidays. In some cases, two games were played in one day. This game and many others in the series give lie to the myth that Anderssen was interested only in attacks on the King. Here he answers a sharp assault on the Sicilian - repeated by Fischer more than a century later - with equal energy. The result is a violent miniature,their shortest game..

After the match, Anderssen wrote, "Morphy is too strong for any living player to hope to win more than a game here and there."

nice

classic game

nice finish

Thanks! A pure chess!

Good Game!

Anderssen was certainly the best player on the midle 19 centrory, only surpassed by th King of Chess: Paul Morphy, no one before, no one later, Myurphy is the One!!
